Beautiful views of Table Mountain, vast blue sky and the glittering city give this fabulous modern home its distinctive essence. Created by an architectural firm SAOTA, the luxury family home is located on Signal Hill, Cape Town, below Lion’s Head. This stunning place has formed a home design with lots of windows to take in the majestic panorama. An inverted pyramidal roof creates a clear window around the upper level, capturing additional views that would have been forgotten. Sights of the sun, a silver moon and bright stars paint a peaceful connection with nature. Living rooms are placed on the top floor to take advantage of the perspective, while bedrooms, workshops, gym and cinema make up the rest of three levels.
The access to the property exhibits a humble stone wall that is built in the traditional Cape way. This traditional feature is combined with the modern exterior of the glass roof window, which becomes a giant attractive light box at night.
The front entrance is hidden away at the end of the attractively rustic stone wall. Modern concrete steps seem to float lightly to the front door of the house, towards a large metal front door.
The main settlements are developed through the upper floor of the three-story home, where they spill onto a wide terrace with a swimming pool and outdoor lounge.
Within the living space, a large area rug defines an elegant living room from the rest of the open plan. Two bright orange lounge chairs compete loudly for attention to the stunning panoramic mountain views.
In the evening, the town of Cape Town blazes at the bottom of the hill and mountains, creating a magical panorama of dancing lights under the sunset.
The endless pool rushes up to the edge of the elevated plot, irresistibly drawing the eye to the mountain-stinging horizon.
A wooden deck lays the groundwork for another terrace lounge, which is furnished with a modern beige sofa and a pair of wooden outdoor coffee tables.
The inverted pyramidal roof forms an enchanting ceiling. Its wooden slope directs the line of sight towards slender skylights.
Tree tops pile up at the edges of the property, growing an abundant green border to eradicate neighboring buildings.
Concrete stepping stones lead through a “wild” garden landscape covered with boulders, shrubs and various ground plants. The gardens blur the boundaries between the open mountain and the enclosed property.
Brightly colored slices enliven the interior. A round table with coordinating stools has a multi-colored paint effect that glows happily in the sunshine that spills through huge glass doors.
The interior staircase design goes up along with a black-painted brick main wall, which builds a dark contrast with the rest of the bright, sunny home design.
A home library encompasses an airy home workspace on the second floor of the home. A library ladder provides access to the top shelves of the packed book stacks. Planal Dining Table focuses on a picturesque courtyard. The large table provides the family with a spacious community work surface, which can double as a comfortable place for family play nights.
A large indoor planter sets up a flowery greenery next to the glass railing of the stairs.
The courtyard design establishes a much more dominant connection with nature along with the head of the staircase.
A built-in window seat offers a place to stop and take in the beauty of the green courtyard.
Board shaped concrete walls texture the long corridors of the large home.
The large, pivoting front door opens into an entrance hall with views of the inner courtyard, achieving a sunny and open aesthetic.
The home is furnished with intricate OKHA furniture designs, including the Lean On Me and To Be One floor lamps. You can also see the Nicci Nouveau armchair, the Vince and Miles Armchairs, the Hunt Sofaon and the Nate.
The smooth wooden ceiling finish gives the homes a golden warmth.
A wooden lath feature carves 3D art into the walls.
Fun space-themed artwork colors the top of a shady staircase. LED stair lights safely illuminate the steps.
A small kitchen gets a simple wooden aesthetic that is warmly lit by sunlight that washes down from clear windows. Clay vases and pots are lined up at the top of the cupboards to form a neat focus. A white marble backsplash neatly supports the kitchen sink, where an extra faucet shines.
Rattan baskets add some traditional crafts to the modern bathroom, where white marble tiles covered the entire back wall. Unique ship sinks are filled with contemporary extra faucets on either side of a double vanity unit.
